did not get my keys on friday, thus wasting this weekend and all the prep we had done.

the reason for not getting the keys is, essentially, that the lender sent us a request for a piece of paper they didn't need at 12:30, we got it to them by 12:45, and they closed at 1. I'm so furious about it, I don't even have words. Our finance guy was upset, our real estate agent cried and said this was the worst escrow she's ever been involved with, and I spent a few hours wanting to punch people in the face.

However, we have been told that Monday, FOR SURE, will be the day. Of course, we were told this on 3/18, 3/31, 4/3, and 4/10 as well. But hopefully the lender won't screw us again and we can move.

FYI: the 6x5 Expedit bookcase from Ikea is amazing and wonderful, but a pain in the ass to move.

zomg, your real estate agent CRIED?? O.o That is some escrow you've got there.

it's pretty ridiculous. There were title problems and lender problems and FHA problems and all sorts of ridiculousness. The closing's been delayed 4 different times for different things, none of which I had any control over and none of which I could fix. If it had been something on my end, I wouldn't be so mad, but I'm just kind of like, 'You guys, this place was in escrow THREE TIMES before we got it. How did all this stuff just slip through the cracks every single time?' and then I just kind of try to soldier on. But it's been...a little crazy and a lot stressful on everyone.

But yeah, she was super upset. She had a housewarming gift ready and everything.

Damn. That's awful.

However, I assure you that 4/13 is a good day for new beginnings and shit like that (hey, it's the kid's birthday, after all), and therefore, they are NOT ALLOWED to fuck this one up.

:D I'm sure it will all go well! I bought ramekins and a muffin tin and placemats!

um. and tea. Lots of tea. Because my mama bought me a tea kettle.

It will all go well. I believe!

Please do not punch people. Do you really want to be in jail instead of your home?

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

No, no jail. Stupid assault charges. Boo.

I made the mistake one time of moving that bookcase assembled. This was not wise. Also, very heavy. Since then I have gotten very good at taking it apart quickly.

Yeah...I don't think I put it together properly :( Which means i'm having a fair amount of difficulty undoing it. Bah.

I'd just abandon it, but it's such an awesome bookcase.
